Cormac I got a root canal 3 weeks ago, i'm praying it never goes worng and I end up getting an implant, what went wrong with yours? Did it last long?..... I've to give my "tipperary" dentist €650 for the canal job, a deep clean and 7 fillings....not to bad....

My mate had to get an implant "front tooth" last year after his root canal went wrong, he ended up going up north in the end the whole thing ended up costing him roughly €4000 all in all for the 1 tooth......you have my sympathy....

There's only one way to get cheap dental work in ireland "STUDENT DENTAL COLLEGE".......I'm not sure which hospital is the main dental one in Dublin but it's worth giving them a call.......that's what my local health board recommended to me when I balked at the price of the root canal job.......call your local board, tell them it hurts, you've no medical card, no cash, what can you do....

best of luck......and gods speed....

Yeh that and relations and friends have had similar experiences and all say the same about Irish dentists!
It's a bit ironic that you've had a phobia for years and when you did go something bad happened!!
It's like being in Mrs. Buckets house and trying not to spill tea..its gonna happen!
